Bellator 172 Breakdown with The MMA Hawk

MMA Hawk in NYC for UFC 205

You ever get writer's block?

When you have to write a breakdown for a match where anything can happen it helps to have an intelligent conversation about MMA with someone that has been following the sport as long as it has been around. One of MMA's G.O.A.T's , Fedor Emelianenko faces Matt Mitrione at Bellator 172 in California at the SAP Center Saturday, Feb. 18 and both men can finish each other at any time.

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better. Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King .
